Three-peats are rare in the NFL, so elusive that no team has pulled off the feat solely in the Super Bowl era.

The Kansas City Chiefs get the chance to be the first to achieve the feat this upcoming season, with Travis Kelce likely playing an integral role in how the team does.

At a recent Dallas Mavericks game, Kelce and NFL legend Michael Irvin talked about a three-peats, with the former Cowboy giving Taylor Swift’s boyfriend advice on how to enter NFL history.

Irvin knows what it’s like to be denied a three-peat, having won Super Bowls in the 1992 and 1993 seasons with Dallas, but falling short in 1994, falling to the eventual-Super Bowl champion 49ers in the conference championship game.

The Chiefs are the ninth team in the Super Bowl era to try to tackle the near-impossible task. All eight before them have failed, and none of them reached the Super Bowl as two-time defending champions.

‘I spent some time with him,’ Irvin said on ‘The Jim Rome Show’. ‘He grabbed me and hugged me real tight and said, “Michael, tell me about that three-peat chase.”‘

‘I said, “Every day, man. Every day. When I put head to pillow at night and when I wake up and put toothbrush to tooth in the morning, I think about that one that got away. I think about that ’94 championship game,”‘ Irvin continued.

‘I said to him, “Whatever you do, do all you can do to make that happen. … I’m telling you, if you leave anything on the table and you don’t get it, you will think about it for the rest of your life, like I do,”‘ Irvin concluded.

Appearing in three straight Super Bowls is a rare feat by itself, with no current NFC team having done it.

The only three teams are the Miami Dolphins (1971-1973), the Buffalo Bills who lost four in a row from 1990-1993, and the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots from 2017-2019.

Now, Kelce will do everything he can to take part in that significant piece of NFL history.
